Oh the dilemma's of parenting
![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Honestly, I was out all day, every day, and my "older" (by only 18 months mind you) brother had to go with me if we *gasp* rode our bikes across town during the day at 5. BUT, i also did NOT have the things my son has growing up, like:
Homework every monday thru thursday, good gracious, I think it was third grade when I had homework??
Activities, He does hip hop dance, we do bible study, he also does karate, two classes a week.
He goes to a magnet school so his hours are 9ish to 3ish, so it's not like he sits around the house and does nothing. I just think that over all, the kids have a lot more going on than then, as well. Just my opinion. and that stated, my son is 5 and he is JUST now being able to play in the back yard only with us not out there. but really, i'm outside with him most of the time because, well, why not? beautiful days are upon us! But we don't really play out front. No need to really, no cars around back!
